Red and Black Hockey

The big news on Wednesday was about the return of Erik Cole to Raleigh. Loads of fans get their favorite player back, Eric Staal gets his BFF back, the locker room gets its deejay back. And then there’s something else.

The Raleigh News and Observer ran a few stories today about Cole’s return. They sent staff photographer Chris Seward to practice, and one of his photos was attached to a story about Cole’s reaction to the trade. There’s nothing special about the story, but there’s something quite special about the photo. It’s unintentionally funny and creepy and, umm… suggestive.
